Last spring, we warned bettors that the Bears [may be overvalued](https://www.betchicago.com/bears-public-super-bowl-futures-market) heading into the 2019 season. Sure enough, after a 2018 campaign that saw Chicago go 12-4 both straight up and against the spread, predictions of regression proved true, with Matt Nagy’s squad laboring to an 8-8 season in which they covered the betting line a meager four times. Overvaluing the Bears doesn’t appear to be the case ahead of the 2020 season – Chicago is an underdog in nine of its 16 games, per lines [released](https://nj.pointsbet.com/sports/american-football/NFL) by PointsBet and the Westgate SuperBook. Three of the nine game in which the Chicago is catching points are at home. While SportsBetting Dime calculated the Bears as having the NFL’s [29th hardest](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nfl/proper-way-to-calculate-strength-of-schedule/) schedule in 2020, they’re priced as dogs against the Tom Brady-led Bucs, Drew Brees and the Saints, and Deshaun Watson and the Texans. While PointsBet posted lines for the first 16 weeks of the season, the Westgate hung NFL Games of the Year on Sunday night. The Westgate makes the Bears bigger underdogs at the Rams (+4) and at the Packers (+5) than does PointsBet, which lists the Bears at +3.5 and +4 in those respective games. __Also read__: [What's home-field advantage with no fans worth](https://www.betchicago.com/nfl-betting-2020-arbitrage-home-field-no-fans) The betting market consensus has the Bears season win total at 8, with some books pricing the OVER as the favorite, but others juicing the UNDER. Nick Foles provides the Bears hope for improvement over Mitchell Trubisky at the quarterback position, but U.S. Bookmaking director [Robert Walker](https://www.betchicago.com/robert-walker-billy-walters-lauren-jackson-quarantine-qa) told BetChicago last week, “I don't think that either one of them makes them a good team.” However, based on these early numbers, have the Bears gone from overvalued last year to undervalued in 2020? ## Betting lines for Bears' 2020 schedule Week 1: Bears (+1.5, 44) at Lions Week 2: Giants at Bears (-5.5, 43.5) Week 3: Bears (+1.5) at Falcons Week 4: Colts at Bears (-1) Week 5: Bucs at Bears (+2.5) Week 6: Bears (-3.5) at Panthers Week 7: Bears (+3.5) at Rams Week 8: Saints at Bears (+4) Week 9: Bears (+2) at Titans Week 10: Vikings at Bears (-0.5) Week 11: Bye Week 12: Bears (+4) at Packers Week 13: Lions at Bears (-6) Week 14: Texans at Bears (+2.5) Week 15: Bears (+3) at Vikings Week 16: Bears (-6.5) at Jaguars Week 17: Packers at Bears (-1) *Weeks 1-16 lines from PointsBets; Week 17 via Westgate* __Bookmark us__: [NFL betting coverage](https://www.betchicago.com/nfl-betting)
